[Video] No more boring data

(贴这个视频大家不要怪我火星)
介绍:这是Hans Rosling 教授(BLOG)在2006年上TED年会(BLOG)上的一个presentation,广为流传。Hans是瑞典的医学博士,曾经在非洲莫桑比亚从事世界卫生、平穷、疾病等研究。除此之外,Hans博士另一个身份就是数据分析和演示达人,视频中热情奔放创意无穷的presentation,有没有对你带来一点启发?



视频中你们看到的这款软件Trendalyzer是由Hans博士作为共同创始人的公司Gapminder所发明。根据Google官方博客,其已经被Google 收购(LINK->BLOG)。更多内容请点击相关关键词了解。

In this regard, we are excited to announce that we have acquired Gapminder's Trendalyzer software, and we welcome the Trendalyzer team to Google. Trendalyzer generates moving graphics and other novel effects in the display of facts, figures, and statistics in presentations. In its nimble hands, Trendalyzer views development data—such as regional income distribution or trends in global health—as literally a world of opportunity. Like Google, Gapminder strives to make information more useful, and Trendalyzer will improve any function or application in which data might be better visualized.


好玩1:
在Capminder的网站上可以看到这其实是一个Non-Profit 性质的公开性平台,一方面他们在呼吁全球的相关组织可以共同贡献研究和数据。另一方面你可以通过已有的统计数据直观地了解世界上很多趋势(例如Family Size&length of Life->LINK,你可以试试观察中国计划生育政策带来的改变,十分有趣。还有,你还能看到世界上出生率最高的国家是西非的尼日尔,平均一个妈妈有7小孩!!)

好玩2:
还有些更好玩的,我刚刚试了用google analytics把我博客的访问数据导出来,做了个简单的motion chart,希望周末有空完善一下,写出来。
